OPERATING THE GRASS
CATCHER
3
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
¡ Do not operate mower without grass
catcher or rear discharge deflector.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
1. Overall grass collecting performance depends on
the airflow from the mowing blades, through the
ducts, into the grass container.
2. Mow and collect when the grass is dry and not too
tall.
Never mow grass when it is wet or heavy with
dew as the grass catcher duct may plug rapidly.
3. If the grass is unusually tall, mow and collect at a
higher than desired height of cut.
Attempting to mow with the deck too low in tall
grass will restrict intake air necessary for good
collecting performance.
Tall grass clippings may also plug the ducts
before the container is filled.
After tall grasses have been mowed, reset the
mower to the desired height of cut and remow the
area.
4. Always mow at full engine throttle. If the engine
lugs down while mowing, reduce riding mower
ground speed.
5. During the mowing operation, when the lumps of
the grass clippings begin to drop on the mowing
track, the machine tells you that the discharging
duct is plugged and the grass container is filled.
In such cases, empty the container, then rotate the
front quick clean plate lever back and forth, and
push down the rear quick clean lever several
times to discharge the grass completely.
6. Thoroughly clean the mower deck, discharge
duct and the net of container after each mowing.
Grass build-up, left to dry, will be very difficult to
remove, and if not removed, will effect future
mowing and bagging performance.
